While the Gov­ern­ment pre­pares to wel­come In­dia's Prime Min­is­ter Naren­dra Mo­di to Trinidad and To­ba­go to­mor­row, the Trinidad and To­ba­go Uni­fied Teach­ers’ As­so­ci­a­tion (TUT­TA) says teach­ers and par­ents are not pleased with the gov­ern­ment's de­ci­sion to dis­rupt school.

TTUTA Pres­i­dent Mar­tin Lum Kin ques­tions whether gov­ern­ment con­sid­ered the fact that schools are cur­rent­ly in ex­am­i­na­tion mode at this time, be­fore de­cid­ing to dis­miss school at 11:30 am on Thurs­day.

Ac­cord­ing to the Ed­u­ca­tion Min­istry, the ear­ly dis­missal will min­imise traf­fic con­ges­tion along the Churchill Roo­sevelt, Uri­ah But­ler and Sir Solomon Ho­choy high­ways, as well as oth­er ma­jor road­ways.
